Re: Takumar 85/1.8 price

[Peter J. Alling]

The SMC Takumar is one of the lenses that became a K mount with 
virtually no changes except the mount of course.
Comments about the Pentax should apply to the Tak as well.  150 seems to 
be a reasonable price, but remember it
is a M42 lens so you'll need an adapter...

I've got the chance to get a Pentax Takumar 85/1.8 for 150,- Euro. Is
that a good price and should I go for it? Stan's website shows very good
comments on this lens.
   

I don't think Stan's site has anything like that. If it's the K85/1.8
it is meant to be a good lens. I don't think there is a Takumar
bayonet 85mm lens.
